I am 48, and started working with an SFG II one year ago and I've made great progress. Unlike regular weight training, which I could never seem to stick with, kettlebell training is the one thing that hooked me, is fun, and that gave me results right away. Enter Simple & Sinister. It is giving me a consistency that I have been lacking, even though I have been training regularly.
I started S&S 19 days ago doing the 1-arm swings with 16kg. I got them into 5 minutes, so I’ve begun to add in the 20kg a set at a time. I started the Get-Ups using 12kg for all 5 reps, but quickly started doing one of the reps with 16kg. Currently I am doing:
Swings - 16,16,16,16,16,16,20,20,16,16 in about 5:15, and the Turkish Get-Ups - 12, 12,16,16,16 in about 10 minutes exactly. I've taken 2 days off but not really "off" because both times, I shoveled snow off my entire driveway. The 2nd time I shoveled was just a couple days ago, and it felt like a piece of cake. I am making progress fast. I Love the way I feel. I am not too sore at all. My shoulders are looking great, and my husband just complimented my hamstrings, saying that they've really shown up lately. Gotta love that!
The book is great in so many ways. It's inspiring and humorous, not to mention easy to follow and concise, and it resonates with me. If I even have a thought to skip out on a day, I remember what Pavel says...just knock it out daily like brushing your teeth, sissy! ; ) and that works!
